"Hacktivists Say They Stole 100,000 Emails From Iran's Nuclear Energy Agency"

The Iranian Atomic Energy Organization has dismissed claims that a subsidiary's email systems were compromised, revealing critical operational data about a nuclear power plant. An activist group named Black Reward, claiming to be from Iran, says they have accessed an email server run by a company related to Iran's Atomic Energy Organization and exfiltrated 324 inboxes containing over 100,000 messages totaling over 50G of files. According to Black Reward, the haul contains construction plans for a nuclear power plant, personal information of Iranians working for the organization, and passport information of Russian engineers assisting Iran's nuclear power efforts. The data allegedly includes technical details and reports, which Black Reward has also detailed on Twitter. The trove also contains correspondence with the International Atomic Energy Agency. According to Black Reward's Twitter bio, the group is a part of the Iranian hacker community but is opposed to the country's theocratic government. The group appears to have chosen this time to act as protests erupted across Iran in the aftermath of the death of Mahsa Amini, a woman who died after being detained for not following Iran's dress code for women. This article continues to discuss the Black Reward group claiming to have stolen 100,000 emails from Iran's nuclear energy agency.
